Real Estate Management Among Top Jobs in U.S.

The Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM) recently wrote an article in our magazine that described the growth, and future, of real estate management jobs. They say that "career opportunities in real estate management are the best ever."

Here are some data that supports this argument:

-Last year, Money magazine and Salary.com ranked real estate management 23rd among the 'Best Jobs in America.'

-U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics assessment of high-growth, high-wage occupations ranks real estate management 38th among the top 50 jobs that are growing faster than the average

-Spring 2007 issue of Selectleaders Job Barometer reports a 35% increase in commercial real estate job postings from February to April 2007, with real estate management second only to finance in postings.

IREM is "confident that demand for real estate managers will continue to grow due to the confluence of these two factors: (1) the unstoppable forces of demographics in the work force exacerbated by generational change, and (2) the market dynamics of real estate values as driven by new product development, interest rates, occupancy levels and cap rates."
